Love the game guys, great work, just a couple questions/suggestions regarding shields.  I realize it may be the engine itself that prohibits the separation of shields from hull strength (rather than just one health bar) but if it were possible, the shields would actualy be able to recharge as they should.  Rechargable shields are one of the chief advantage of most alliance fighters, able to take some hits, but still be able to come back as strong as ever after getting out of combat for a bit.  And then, assuming that were possible, it would add whole new depth and skill if you were able to transfer shields port/aft/evenly, and be able to transfer power between cannons/shields/engines (yeah im an x wing alliance fan).
